Re: All Mountain 29er-New build "the Eggplant"
so, finally had an answer from vendor; they found I'm right, size Large strike seat tube and now they re-design the whole rear triangle for all sizes, because is the same. Once it will be ready one will be shipped for free. March 20, 2020, 06:48:20 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
many thanks for the pic! It's safe IMHO, you have enough space to handle some mud Mine frame will be here in a couple of days, I'll check travel with rear wheel and tyre on, then order rear shock; if everything will work as expected, Deluxe 165x45 and Pike 130 in the front.

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
Caseven, is a bearing press necessary for the headset on the Lexon Riot? I'm getting my components ready for the Riot build (once it arrives) and the one tool I don't have is a bearing press. Thanks. Bearings just "drop in" into frame, no press required November 09, 2021, 02:19:54 PM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
my frame arrived few days ago...I'm very impressed with Lexon quality overall! Large size came at 2130 grams with shock hardware (no rear axle ) November 09, 2021, 02:24:40 PM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
For sure, but this is my winter project, so it will take some week to be ready for trails! November 10, 2021, 01:51:05 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
well, I'm about to start my build and found that swingarm wasn't nice and smooth through its travel, so went down to check for the problem... I've found it in the bearings of linkage, 3 out of 4 was badly pressed-in, causing a notchy travel. Ordered 4 sealed SKF, code if someone is interested is "698 2RS" Pay attention to yours!

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
Maybe I'm unlucky with mine  I usually " play" with frames before assembling and for sure I've learned to double check for thread retainer after I had lost one bolt of my Rocky Mountain Altitude (spare was a 150€ kit  )No-brand frames sometimes come with rubbish bearings, so I think a check is a good starting point; Lexon ones seem nice in quality, no axial play and smooth, but you can damage an SKF too if bad pressed-in. By the way, next week fork, shock and derailleur will arrive, so sunday could be maiden day! December 12, 2021, 03:05:03 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
I don't know how many Riot owner have disassembled frame to inspect it, so I'd like to share this with you; in my opinion this confirm good overall quality of the frame. Swingarm's seatstays have 2 grooves to accomodate in perfect alignment the metal threaded block. December 12, 2021, 03:22:17 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
About gearing, I'm not a fan of 12speed so until I can get them, 11 is what I use. I had and will be also on the Riot, a 11/46 from ZTTO (Aliexpress) @ 370grams, shift through gears is very good as on Sram products Usually I go with a 34 oval chainring I don't like anything over 46 cassette, but 9 as smallest cog is interesting, especially if you go with a 32 chainring December 13, 2021, 01:52:47 PM |
